Last JV Game of the Season

The last game of the season was at Twin Valley Middle School in Morgantown.  It is a gorgeous area - especially in the fall with all the color in the mountains.  Unfortunately, it was also *VERY* cold, rainy, and windy!  The rain eventually tapered off toward the end of the game, but the cold and wind was relentless.




Today was a very special day for Timothy.  The Reading Eagle is still working on the article about the difference football has made in his life.  They sent out a photographer to the game to get some game day pictures.  I can't wait until the article finally comes out.   :)



The most special part of the game was at the end. Timothy's coaches and team honored him during the post game huddle by presenting him with a game ball signed by every player and every coach.  Coach Heckman gave an incredible speech, thanking the boys for being such a great team, and telling them that it was because of them that Timothy was able to succeed on the football team.  It was a beautiful speech from the heart.


 After the post-game huddle, the team all posed for a team picture.  I love it!  Our purchased team photo was both the JV and V Midgets.  It was awesome to get a picture of just the JV team - especially one after a real game.  I can't wait to get it enlarged and get a frame for it.




When it was all over, the Reading Eagle photographer had a few things to talk to me about, so I asked Hannah and Timothy to go back to the stands to pick up our stuff that we had left there.  As they walked across the field, Hannah put her arm around Timothy, and it was a scene that just melted my heart.  Hannah has been one of Timothy's biggest fans.  She was right there with him all summer as he was walking/jogging/doing sit ups/etc.  She has gone to dozens of his practices, and has been to every game unless she has been working.  She's been such a great support and encouragement for him.
